Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne were once dubbed ‘Australia’s biggest female podcasters’.
Now, it has been revealed their Life Uncut podcast is leaving the Australian Radio Network.
A spokesperson confirmed to Mediaweek on Thursday that the program would be leaving ARN’s airwaves by the end of the year, marking the end of one of its most successful partnerships.
‘After six successful years together, ARN and Life Uncut will part ways at the end of 2025, allowing us to focus on new iHeart Originals launching in 2026,’ they revealed.
Since its inception, Life Uncut has maintained a strong position among the top lifestyle and relationship podcast programs Down Under.
So much so that a spin-off show, The Pick Up, was introduced and now airs across the country on the KIIS network.

Despite the partnership coming to a close, it is not yet known what will happen to Life Uncut.
Both Brittany and Laura have been approached for comment.
The podcast duo reflected on their success back in 2023 after revealing Life Uncut had topped the Spotify charts as one of Australia’s biggest podcasts.
The hosts shared a gallery of photos to Instagram, showing their ‘Spotify Wrapped’ statistics for their program, which demonstrated the programme’s widespread appeal.
Laura, 39, and Brittany, 38, were thrilled that thousands of people were listening to their show and thanked their fans for their phenomenal success.
‘We are 4.5 years and 500 episodes deep and have loved every second. To have that love reflected back means everything to us,’ they began.
‘Some highlights: Top one percent of charted podcasts. Played in 115 countries! A top 10 for 85.2k people! Huge growth of 999.9% on streams and listens.
‘We won the Champions Award at the Australian Podcast Awards. That you guys care so much about us personally means the world to us,’ they added.

Both women have celebrated milestone moments this year.
In June, Brittany married Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist in a lavish Balinese ceremony.
The pair have bought a home on the Gold Coast but continue to navigate long distance while the sportsman plays for Genoa FC.
What’s more, Laura gave birth to her third daughter Poppy with husband Matty ‘J’ Johnson in September.
